Heterotopien Des Künstlerischen: Lehren ALS Künstlerische PRAXIS - Paperback

by Barbara Putz-Plecko (Editor)

Art as a communicative practice

This publication presents and documents 16 years of artistic teaching and research at the Department of Art and Communicative Practice at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It illustrates the specific approach to artistic teaching in different media fields, building on the artistic practice of individual teachers.

Drawing on best-practice examples and a variety of innovative projects, it becomes clear which spaces for action and reflection each individual artistic approach opens up in interaction. These essays explore the specific potential that teaching "from art" opens up for educational processes, self-awareness, world experience, critical reflection and ability to act, and the production of knowledge.
